Wednesday Nights at The Rock are all about connection, growth, and having fun—all centered around Jesus. Each week kicks off with open gym time, giving everyone a chance to hang out, play, and build friendships. After that, we enjoy a free dinner together—because community grows best around the table. The night continues with games and activities that bring laughter and unity, followed by a time of worship where we lift up the name of Jesus, our Rock and foundation. Then we dive into a message rooted in Scripture, focused on helping us know Jesus more and live out our faith. We finish the night in small group discussions, where we get real, ask questions, and encourage each other in our journey as disciples. Whether you're just checking things out or looking to go deeper in your walk with Christ, Wednesday nights at The Rock are a place to belong, grow, and stand strong together.

CURRENT TEACHING SERIES: Parables of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew

Our current youth teaching series explores the parables in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus uses everyday stories to reveal deep spiritual truths about God’s kingdom. Each week, students are invited to engage with these timeless teachings—like the Parable of the Sower, the Mustard Seed, and the Unforgiving Servant—as we discuss what they meant in their original context and how they challenge us to live today. This series encourages reflection, conversation, and transformation as we discover how Jesus’ words still speak powerfully into our lives.
